On December 22nd, he came to the foot of the mountain, disassembled the raft, transported it into the camp, and covered it with canvas.

Most of the salted meats on the ship were soaked in brine and not dried at high temperatures to remove moisture, so their shelf life couldn't compare to that of bacon or ham.
